he lets them get clean and stuff
wonder how many mice he can trap if he keeps doing this.
Imagine you wake up one day and you realize the dude that feeds and sometimes gives you weird toys to play with kills dudes like you and you just lucky. Freaky.
This seems like a really effective and humane trap unless they begin to claw and bite each other
this is great
It really isn't humane at all if you use it as intended, because you still have to kill the mice.
My uncle has something like one of these in the old farmhouse on his property, except it's really just a pitcher about 2 feet deep. If it's functioning as intended you just abandon the little bastards at the bottom of it. He baits it with a synthetic chemical though, not peanut oil.
Imagine if he just said at the end he was going to deep fry them and then just cut the video out.
Not really humane. You still have to kill the mice, unless you want to drive 20 miles down the road to release them, and good luck getting clean hits on them when theyre slippery as hell.
I was thinking, can you leave a mouse just like that, covered in oil?
Damn, that sounds like our fly traps. they just get full of corpses
This guy has two similar videos, with a bucket full of water and a roller with some bait in the centre. The mice go across the roller to get the bait, fall in the water and drown. People cried in the comments about it being inhumane, so he uploaded a video without the water and the mice ripped eachother apart and ate oneanothers brains'n'shit.
Man that dudes channel is brutal.
Well this video ended on a nicer note than I was expecting.
Now I gotta wonder if this would work with larger rats. This guy has already done a cooking video on rats before, and I have gotta wonder if this method of live catching would allow for the start of a micro-livestock meat farm.
For those unaware, rat meat is actually some of the most nutritious and calorie dense meat their is. 300 grams of meat will get you the following: 650+ calories, 50g+ protein, 30g+ of fat. This actually beats some current livestock meats like cow, chicken, and lamb. Their is an effort at the moment to have capybara, nutria, and other species of rodent used as livestock here in the United States. The only problem is if they get out, they can wreak havoc.
You could but theyre just going to eat each other and take a few days to starve or dehydrate.
No, i mean releasing an oil covered mouse. Not in the bowl, but releasing without cleaning it.
I wonder what they taste like. I'd try it before eating bugs, they're trying to make those food too.
As long as they're disease free I think the stigma of eating rodents would be a lot easier to get over than eating bugs, especially if they're not the rodents that are typically vermin.
That sounds like the start of some post-apoc steampunk novel.
Also, you could try breeding the more docile giant rodents from Sub-Saharan Africa, or go for Capybara.
Sure you could. Theyd clean themselves eventually but releasing a mouse defeats the point of catching it.
To keep them as pets*
I feel like you could catch even more mice if you set it up on a small mouse-sized chairs, with mouse-sized jello shots and a big sign that said "Hot lady mice oil wrestling". Then control the pathway into said seating area with a big-ass trap in itself.
